UV endoscopic system based on embedded computer

A new electric endoscopic system based on the technologies of embedded system,ultraviolet discharge detection and image acquisition is introduced.The theory of ultraviolet discharge detection,block diagram of hardware platform,process of running embedded Linux and Qtopia file system,and the method of image acquisition by USB camera are discussed,and the flow chart of system application program is given.The experimental results indicate that the UV endoscopic system can detect the internal discharge of electric equipment within 2 m and show the fault point by images.The simulation experiments prove the practicability of the new electric endoscopic system in detecting electric equipment.
